rationalism, logic and human existence

i dont know a thing abt any of the word used in the title of the post. or should i say, i dont understand at all.
consider for example, both ur twin sister have been kidnapped by a saddist. he promises to release only one of them, and kill the other brutally.
whom would u chose to save.
can rationalism prove that rational thinking is rational? while irrational thinking can prove irrational thinking can. dog is black and moon is round. so rational thinking is rational. and irrational thinking is best.
when we fall in love. there is no reason we fall in love. yet we conjure up reasons. isnt that how science works.
what is the purpose of human existence. nothing. what is better - dying as a begger, or dying as a multimillionaire who has served millions of people. neither. i dont opt to die. if both are dead, what does it matter how they lived.
dont want to write a thing, because i should concentrate for my big day tomorrow so,leave the post incomplete......that gives it a sense of completeness
and yeah....
let this be madness....yet there is a method in it...


PS: the post is complete. the idea of incompleteness is just to showcase how we leave out the most important questions of life for the sake of mundane human affairs!!!

?????

As i travelled towards home, i realise that life could be surmised as a bus journey. I have not chosen the bus, nor the fellow travellers, nor the road. i am just destined to travel. even were i to chose another route, the road would not be mine. even if i were to carve out the road, the land would not be mine. my destiny is just to travel. probably the destiny is also not chosen by me. Then i could as well refuse to travel. but is that a real choice?

when man stops to think

it is appalling to see all men and women on this earth think the way they think - that is, they dont think at all. why. what happened. i dont know.
people have fixed ideas. worse people have limited logic.
they refuse to think more than what has been taught and what they have read.
for them, its like perception of color. what they see as red, is red. no matter whther they see it on a fruit or a paper or a traffic signal. they know it is red, and will die for its cause.
but then what u see as red may not be red. thats elementary optics. but then who would wanna think. for they know and they can see, a red is red is red.
thats how we look at love. some people like to talk abt love as divine blah blah. and others, who think they can think, define it more practical way. call it hormones. others who think they can think better, they will call it socio economic inflence. others might refuse the existence of love. but then again they think that they think that love is so and so. but then love is simply love and love need not be love. people wont understand it....and it is a sad reflection of the state of their mental degradation
